On Friday, January 29th, 2021, the Spondylitis Association of America hosted a fun and informative Facebook Live, “Healthy Habits in the Kitchen with Melissa Mondala, MD, Plus a Live Cooking Demo!” The foods we eat can play a role in reducing inflammation, managing pain and other symptoms of spondyloarthritis (SpA), and improving health outcomes. Plant-based nutrition is one of the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, which uses a holistic approach to help boost wellness and quality of life in the long-term. In this video, Dr. Mondala, a Lifestyle Medicine specialist, gave an overview of foods that reduce – and promote – inflammation in the body, and touched on many lifestyle modifications that can benefit those living with SpA. She also gave a live cooking demo, teaching us a fast, easy, and healthy recipe to add to our repertoires. Watch the video below to hear Dr. Mondala’s tips on anti-inflammatory eating and get her recipe!
